TEMPERANCE IN THE Sonoomuâ€"The East Middlesex School Inspector, in an address to the teachers of Perth county, recom¢ mended them to introduce a temperance text book into the school. We agree with the idea, but the difficulty is the bringing of additional studies before the children, which are already too numerous. If any. thing can be done, no matter how imperj fectly, to teach the young the advantage of temperance, it should meet with encour- agement from allintereated in national pro- gress. Temperance is the burning question of the day; and it will do no harm to have the children well informeil on the subject. â€"â€"Clinton New Era.

Our farmers have given very little attention to the study of grass and the soils and culture beet adapted to the various sorts.

We desire to have new varieties of grapes come quickly into hearing. but vines from nurseries are frequently tardy. Even after careful nursing they will often droop and die, while a. few buds out off on arrival and properly grafted may produoeflfruit in a short time. Grafting on out-off under- ground gnsrly stumps of vines, as usually practised, is very uncertain at best. Our method is to take a good, strong branch or cane of vine, or even a whole young vine when a change of fruit is desired, and whip the graft in the usual way. We then cover up the vine" in the ‘soil as near the roots as possible, leaving above ground only a bud or two of the graft. It is well known how quickly a layer will make a bearing vine, as it has the advantage of the parent roots as well as the roots it produces. The layer may be extended, if long enough, to grow where the vine is to remain. Vineyards may in this way be quickly changed to better varietiesâ€"American Agriculturist for 412711.

The reason is simply this: Tall trees in the nursery rows for some reason get the etart.overtop and overshadow those that started later ; the sap of the tree can- sequently pushes its growth upward and into the foliage, While the riots are long, slender and few, consequently it does not bear transplanting as well or do as well after being transplanted as was expected from its fine appearance in the row. Stooky trees, on the contrary, being ove; shadowed, make a shorter growth, with branches and foliage nearer the ground, with Iumerous short roots that do not waste their sub stance in bleeding or by absorptizgn from the soil, that cause the tree to start off in a rapid growth and outstrip its slender rival, and also come quicker into profitable hear. ing. u Notes by Ibt‘. \Vav.

RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, APRIL 12 Two Enle rprluw. l'l‘he Brave Conduct of two “'omcn ol Swanson in Rescuing Drowning lVlr-n. One incident at least that bids fair to bc memorable has been bequeathed by the storm of wimi which blew last Saturday ‘ and Sunday. The story concerns two Welsh women who went into the sea to save some drowning men. The narrative occupied only a few lines when first told, thus exemplifying the truth of Herman Melville‘s words : “ But in the events thus merely initialized in the catalogue of pass- ing occurrences, and but glanced at by the readers of news more taken up with para- graphs of fuller flavor, what a world of life and death, what a world of humanity and its woes, lies shrunk in a three-worded sentence 1” Yet some of these “ three- worded sentences " occasionally merit expansion, because they are full of noble teaching, of beautiful and devoted heroxsm, and examples to the world of self-denial and touching sacrifice. Such an incident is that of the wreck of a barque somewhere abreast of Swansea Bay last Saturday, the drowning of the lifeboat men who went to the succ-or of the crew, and the rescue of two men by a couple of stout-hearted, courageous women. A high sea was running, and a heavy gale of wind was blowing, when, between 9 and 10 o’clock on Saturday, a barque, apparently not under control, was seen drivmg up channel, but with a strong drift in the direction of some rocks situated a short distance to the westward of the Mumhles Head. When close to these rocks she let‘ go her anchor, and almost imme- diately afterward struck, whereupon a tug-boat in her neighborhood sounded her whistle as a signal for the life-boat. A crew of thirteen men promptly collected, jumped into the life-boat, and made for the barque. Among the men who thus hazarded their lives without reference to anything outside. the pure humanity of their missionâ€"since all the reward they were likely to receive for their perilous errand was a sum of ten shillings per man â€"were a father and four sons ; and herein lies not a little of thc pathos of this moving story. The father, Jenkin Jenkins, was the coxswain of the boat, and one of his sons second coxswain. Five of the other men were volunteers. The life-boat was headed to windward of the wreck, and presently, after a furious tussle and tossing -â€"for the waters in which the Mumbles stand are far enough to the westward to feel much of the full strength and fury of the Atlantic surges as they roll up into the British channelâ€" the boat reached the bearings she had made for, let go her anchor, and veered out cable so as to drop down on the wreck. The barque was fast going to pieces, the seas were boiling over her decks. rending and tearing her strong fastenings with every furious blow ; and the poor fellows aboard of her, holding on for their lives, waited with desperate anxiety for the life-boat to come alongside. The boatmen threw a grappling iron on board, and succeeded in hauling a couple of the cons; into the boat. Athird man was Leing INT-nod. in this manner when a sea of unusual height and power struck the boat, parted her cable, and threw the whole of her occupants into the water. The same sea rolled over the barque, and such was its fury that Jenkins, the coxswain, though struggling for life, overboard, could yet take note and afterward remembzr and relate that it tore all three masts out of the doomed craft as a man might pluck up so many stalks of wheat by the roots. The boat righted, and the coxswain managed to roll into her, and when there seized hold of his son, William Jenkins, and a man named MacNamara, getting them out of the water. But just then another sea took the lifeboat and hurled her against the wreck, knocking in a part of her side. The coxswain, who relates the story, says: ” One of my sons, John, said to me, ‘ It is all over with us, fatherl ’ I replied, ‘ I believe it is. The sea will settle us now.’ John also said, ‘My head is cut open.’ I told him mine was too. The bottom of the lifeboat was like a slaughteringhcuse, covered with blood." Once more the boat was capsized, and the wounded men were flung into the raging water. The coxswain contrived to grasp the life-line attached to the side of the boat, and held on while the boat floated him toward the rocks. After a little, thinking he saw his chance, he let go and l, l struck out for the shore, which he gained, 1landing half dead on the second island“ He looked toward the water and saw a man struggling amid the boiling wash of the surf. Three soldiers stood by, and he implored them to help the man; but observing that they gave no assistance, he cried to them: “Save the man, for shamel Don‘t let the man drown before your eyes.” But what the soldiers had no heart to attempt, two brave women rushed forward eagerly to perform. They were the daughters of Mr. Ace, the light-house keeperâ€"one named Maggie Ace, and the other her married sister, Mrs. Wright. “ Come back! come backl You’lllose your lives l ” shouted ~Ace to them, as they ran to the water to help the drowning men. “ I’ll lose my life before I’ll let those ‘men drown,"was Maggie’s answer; and tearing ofi their shawls the women knotted them together, and, wading into the furious surf until the swell of the surges sometimes rose Ito the height of their arm-pits, and one holding bravely to the other to sup- port themselves against the tearing recoil of the sweeping waters, they threw the end of their shawls toward the outstretched arms of the perishing men, and by these means dragged them both on to the rocks. Thus were rescued two of the lifeboatsmen, William Rosser and John Thomas. “They almost went out of their depth,” says the coxswain who lay watching them, exhausted by his own recent terrible struggles, “ and were both in the water up to their arm- pits. They acted with great bravery. The men who were thus saved were about three yards from the sliore.”â€"Lcndon Standard An attempt is to be made to introduce in this city' a revolving stage, something similar to which has for ages been used in Japan. It is, as shown by the model, a simple ciroulsr' platform, flush with the level of what remains of the ordinary stage, but occupying nearly all the space that would usually be available. It is sup- ported on pillars at the circumference. These are carried by wheels, which run on a. circular track laid on a. solid floor under the stage. It turns on a. pivot in the centre. The motive iorce would be a. couple of men’ who would walk around the track pushing against the pillars. Only one~half of the stage would be in use at one time, and meanwhile the other half would be set for the next scene. There are about half a dozen theatres in the city in which this form of stage might be adopted without l much trouble or expenseâ€"N. Y. 8147;. Cut 84nd driedâ€"Hiy. BE 2:010 WO‘JIEN. A Revohjlng Stage: 2, 1883. The House resumed the consideration in Committee of the Whole of Mr. Charlton’s Seduction Bill. Mr. Charlton presentedasub- stitute for Mr. tieotor Cameron’s (Victoria) proposed amendment regarding corrobora‘ tive evidence, for which he said he had that gentleman’s consent in private conversa- tion. This amendment was to get over the difficulty of the addition proposed by Mr. Cameron making it necessary to prove the offence by other evidence entirely than that of the woman, by specifying several points regarding which there must be corrobora- tive evidence. Mr. McCarthy objected to Mr. Charlton’s proposal as indefinite, and after some conversation a consultation of Messrs. Blake, Charlton and McCarthy took place, resulting in. framing an amend- ment to make corroborative evidence neces- sary : (1) as to seduction under promise of marriage ; (2) as to seduction in case of the seduction by a teacher of his pupil ; (B) as to the enticement or inveiglement in cases of enticement into a house of ill-fame for immoral purposes. This was carried and reported, and the bill as amended ordered to stand lior further consideration to- marrow. The adjourned debate on Mr; Charlton's Bill to provide for the punishment of adul- tery and seduction was resumed. When the Bill was last before the House, Mr. Cameron‘, of Victoria, had moved in amend- ment to the clause which provided that the testimony of the female in respect to whom the offence was alleged to have been com- mitted shall not be deemed sufficient to sustain a conviction “ unless it is corro- borated by other material evidence,” and that the words “ proving the offence tohave been committed ” be added. This Mr. Charlton contended would make the woman’s evidence of no effect at all, as the ofience would have to be proved by testi- mony wholly independent of here. The amendment if passed would make the whole Bill a mockery. It would be more manly to oppose the principle of the Bill,Mr. Charlton maintained,than to kill it indirectly in that way. Mr. Blake agreed with Mr. Charlton, and said that the amendment required evidence sufficient to convict if the woman was not heard at all. This was highly objectionable, as the man’s evidence was admitted. Such evidence as would be required, if the amendmentpassed, would not be corroborated at all, but must be ade‘ quate of itself to prove the commission of the offence. Mr. Cameron, of Huron, admitted that the language of the bill was rather vague, and suggested that the clause be so amended that corroborative evidence of both promise of marriage and seduction would be necessary to secure conviction. Mr. Cameron (Victoria) contended that the bill placed the man too completely in the hands of an artful woman, and that some such safeguard as was contained in the amendment was required. He pressed his motion, and a division was called for, which resulted as follows : The consideration of Mr. McCarthy‘s Bill respecting carriers by land was resumed in Cemmittee. Mr. Coughlin strongly ob. jected to one of the clauses of the Bill providing the exemption of carriers from liability for loss on goods carried by them in certain cases of special contract, and moved an amendment fastening the liability upon them in any case. Mr. Mc- Carthy expostulated with his friend, and showed the House that the proposed amendment would clash with former sec- tions of the Bill, and that all that was necessary was provided for in the next clause, which made all contracts void unless deemed just and reasonable by the court. Mr. Blake supported Mr. McCarthy by pointing out that in some cases of cattle shipment special low rates were allowed by the railway companies, the shipper taking care of the stock en route. The amendment proposed would make the rail~ ways liable in all cases, and so prevent such contracts from being entered into. After some further discussion the amend- ment was lost. and the Bill was passed with a few slight changes and reported. Mr. Cfiarlton'szilX to phniah seduction and crimes of a. like nature was read a thirrturigne qu» pasged Withoutfigbqte. A Bill, which was a consolidation of a‘ number of Bills relating to procedure in‘ criminal matters, then came up for con-; sideration. Mr. Cameron, in moving the‘ House into Committee upon it. explained ‘ that it provided that in cases of misde- meanor the accused and his wife had a right to give evidence in his behalf, also to provide that in criminal cases these who considered an oath not binding might be allowed to give evidence under affirmation. This practice obtained in Britain, and had recently been embodied in the Ontario Statutes so far as concerned civil cases. A clause was introduced also to provide that the Pro- vincial statutes should be considered proven by the more production. The bill provided also for the punishment of persons leaving unguarded holes in the ice on navigable waters. The last clause was to make it clear that juries in criminal cases had the right to light, heat and nourishment. Some of the judges held that no such right existed, and in one case, within his own knowledge. the jurors had been kept twenty- four hours without any of these necessaries. Mr. Blake suggested that it would be better to keep the clause regarding unguarded holes in the:ice separate from the rest of thebill,whieh in a large sense dealt with procedure. Sir John Macdonald agreed, but pointed out that as the consolidation of the criminal law was to take place soon, it was hardly worth While to separate those proposed clauses now. Mr. Bosse argued against the clause 1 of the bill allowing one charged with 1 misdemeanor, his wife, or her husband, to ‘ give evidence on his or her own behalf.‘ He objected also to the clause allowing affirmation to those upon whom an oath was not binding. He argued that the Provincial Legislatures having control of the procedure. it would be unconstitutional to pass such law ; besides he found that in Ontario it was held that such' form of oath might be administered as was most binding upon the conscience of the witness. He contended also that when the human pas- sions were aroused something more than mere affirmation was necessary to prevent the bearing of false Witness. He quoted English authorities to show that very few cases of atheistioal objection were raised against taking the oath. He boldly stated that the man who professed not to believe in God was either a crank or a hypocrite. He wanted to know why such a man should be accorded privxleges not given to those who believe in God. He appealed strongly to the House not to put questions of life and death in the hands of such men! and to keep Canada clear from the stigma which would be thrown upon he: by‘the passage of the law, " ‘ Mr. Boberfison. of Hamilton, agreed with Mr. Bosse that the reasons against a. priso’ne; testifying on his own behalf in DOMINION PARLIAMENT. WHOLE NO. 1,292 NO. 45. Mr. Shakespeare, in moving a resolution declaring it expedient to enact a law simi lar in principle to the law now in force in Australia, and entitled “ the Influx of Chinese Restriction Act, 1881,” said the question was not a new one, but he hoped it would be received with favor by the House. He urged the necessity of legisla- tion of this kind, especially for British Columbia, and proceeded to state some facts to maintain that position. He asserted that Chinamen were brought over as slaves, and were old and bought like sheep. 0n landing Chinamen were formed into squads belonging to the different bosses. They are marched up to the head- quarters of companies in Chinatown where their names are enrolled. The white employers of labor, knowing that“ a con- signment ot Chinamen had arrived. send agents to Chinatown and practically buy these men. Further, the Chinese women were brought over and sold for immoral purposes, and in British Columbia, a Christian land and under the British flag, existed a state of slavery of the most horrible character. Mr. Shakespeare pro- ceeded, that Columbians, white laboring men, were opposed to Chinese emigration because they could not 'compete with Chinamen. cases of felony would apply also to cases of misdemeanor. As to the provision of affirmation for those who could not be bound by oath, he declared himself altogether out of sympathy with those who denied the existence of a Supreme Being, but so long as the law remains in its present state and the evidence of those who only doubted such existence was excluded. men who did not want to give evidence had the power of putting themselves out of court by avowing atheistical opinions. He believed men who honestly doubted the existence of a personal God, and had the courage to express that doubt, were in many cases just as worthy to be believed as any others. In order to make a man tell the truth it was not necessary for him to say “ So help me God.” The pains and penal- ties of perjury were provided against. Those who making affirmation in this bill bore false witness, and as counsel of thirty years’ standing, his opinion was that such pains and penalties did much more to deter people from perjury than any fear of pun- ishment hereafter. The motion carried and the House went into committee on the bill, Mr. Patterson, of Essex, in the chair. Scarcely had the Chairman taken his seat when Mr. Bosse moved that the committee rise, a motion which, if carried, would result in practically putting an end to the bill. A vote was taken, resulting in the motion being carried by a vote of 65 yeas to 56 nays, and the committee rose and the bil_l_wa§_fo_r the time quashed. Several members (sétto woodâ€"“Aye! there‘s the rub." Mr. Shakespeare referred to the expe- rience of California, and quoted the au- thorities to show that Chinamen took the places of white men, particularly in the lighter mechanical employments suitable for the young people of both sexes. The Chinamen lived on a handful of rice, some refuse pork and a little dessicated fish every dayâ€"a diet on which a white man would starve. A Chinaman had nobody but himself to keep, and could live on twenty-five Cents a day. The white man and family could not possibly live on less than one dollar a day. When once the Chinamen became masters of the situation by driving out their white competitors, they demanded an increase of wages. He related a case in Victoria, where, at the sound of the gong, every Chinaman struck work at a moment’s notice and refused to return until their demands for higher wages were granted them. A Chinaman when he had made $1,000 or $2,000 returned to his own land. That is draining the wealth out of the country. Should such grievances as these exist in Ontario or other Eastern ‘ Provinces the cry would be raised for a remedy, and a remedy would soon be found. He asked his fellow-members to consider what a curse it would be to have the fac- tories in such a town as Gananoque, which depended for its success on manufacturers, run by Chinese instead of by white people. He contended also that when the Canadian Pacific Railway was opened,not onl would the Chinese come eastin swarms to ntario and other Provinces, but the productions of Chinese cheap labor would come into competition with the manufacturers of the Eastern Provinces. He denied that Chinese labor was better than white labor, for one white man was worth half a dozen China- men at any time. In support of this con- tention he quoted the authority of a lar e employer of labor on the Northern Paci 0 Railway. He found fault with the method of life of the Chinamenon sanitary grounds. It might be asked why a city or province did not pass laws to compel them to live dififerently. That had been done, but it ‘was impossible to enforce them owing to i the difficulty of securing evidence. They employed lawyers and paid them hand- ‘ somely, being careless of money so long as lthey gained their point. In fact, he said, one who had not a personal know- ledge of the Chinese and their ways knew nothing of the dimoulties of regulating the lives of the Mongolians. He pointed out that now that the United States was closed against the Chinese, British Columbia was made a dumping place for all Chinese emigrants to America, which made the case all the harder. He anticipated the argument that it would be time enough to exclude Chinamen after the railway was built, and characterized it as a locking of the stable door after the steed was stolen. It would not do to allow the Mongolians to secure such a foothold in the Province. The Bill he wished to see passed would allow Chinamen now there to remain, but 14,000 Chinamen in a Province so thinly populated was quite enough, he thought. He expressed grave apprehension at the rapid increase of Chinese emigration, 8,000 having landed at the port of Victoria alone. This question he said was one of the greatest moment to every man in British Columbia having a growing family. Mt. Baker seconded the resolution. One great reason why the Chinese were em- ployed in British Columbas. was that there was a. lack of supply in several branches of labor, particularly m household help. He would not, for his own parh,exolude all Chinamen, as the assistunce of afew of them was valuable, but on the whole he thought restriction was absolutely neces. Bury. Mr. Gordon, of British Columbia, said the willingness to work at a cheap rate was not the only qualification of citizenship. The payment of taxes was the duty of a. citizen, and it was found that while the Chinese were one in fourteen of the popu- lation in California, they paid only one four-hundredth part of the taxation. He corroborated Mr. Shakespeare’s statement that the Chinese immigrants were kept in slavery, and asserted that as soon as a. Chinemen was found to have learned that he could not be held as a slave under the British or American flag he was put to death by conspiracy eithegossa. He alleged m Ted! The French proverb ssys De Zita la tabla de la. table on litâ€"“ from bed to grub, from grub to bed.” That’s something like it. Get up and eat, eat and go to bad again. Why not ? All the animals do it. All nature, the grandmother of us all. teaches it. Every animal in the world ants and seeks repose. The cow eats and, lying down, placidly chews her cud; the anaconda. swallows an ox,'horns and all, and goes to sleepâ€"“ sleep that knits up the rsvelled sleeve of care ; the birth of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath, helm of hurt minds; greet nature’s second course ; chief nouusher in life’s feast.” And yet, this is what they would deprive us of who say get up, and who oppose the art of lying abed. A Spanish Minister suddenly raised to power, signalized the event by going to bed and staying there for fear he might have something to do. It was in bed, at the little inn at Waterloo, that the Duke of Wellington received the list of the terrible casualties of the fatal 18th of June. Gray’s “ Ode to Music " was written in bed, and Sam. Johnson’s “ Lobo’s Voyage to Abyssinia" was dictated to the printers before the great author of the “ Lives of the Poets” and lexicographer had arisen. Peter Pindar (Dr. Wolcott) was so fond of lying abed that he received his visitors lying beneath spreads and counterpanes. Rossini wrote one of his finest operas in bed, and was too lazy to pick up a sheet that had fallen away. George IV. lay in bed to read the-news- papers and Macaulay read twenty pages of Schiller before getting up. John Foster thought out his sermons in bed and the methodical Anthony Trollope used to read an hour before getting up. Cynical Pops wrote: . Was ever more arrant nonsense written?

Ben Franklin said, " Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” New, Franklin started out all right, but got terribly mixed when he said “ early to rise.” There is the fatal mis- take. People who rise early are sure to catch the malaria ; the ground is full of half-hatched poisonous germs; the sun is not up and has not warmed them into life, given them wings and set them adrift. Poor, misguided man, he arises, inhales them all; they fructify and poison his entire system ; hence chills, fever, malaria and half the ills that human flesh is heir to.

How to Escape Nervonsnels. The first prescription is an ample supply of pure, fresh and cool air. The nerves will always be week if the greater part of the day and night be passed in close, ill- ventilated and over-heated apartments. The nerves, more than the rest of the body. to be properly nourished, require a full supply of oxygen. They will not endure vitiated air, whether the impurities come from sewers, gaslights. subterranean tur- naces or the individual’s own person, with- out making an energetic protest. A gas- burner consuming four cubic feet an hour produces more carbonic acid in a given time than is evolved from the respiration of eight human beings. Bear this in mind, you who sufferfrom nervousness, thatwhen you have shut yourselves up in your rooms and lighted an argand burner (which con- sumes about twelve cubic feet of gas per hour) you are to all intents and purposes immured with twenty-three other persons. all taking oxygen from the atmosphere. Is it a wonder that after several hours’ ex- posure to the depraved air your nerves should rebel, as far as their weak state permits, and that your head should ache, your hands tremble, and that your daughter’s playing on the piano almost drive you wild ?â€"â€"0ur Continent. also that the Chinese were very often criminals, that their eter of living was a. constant menace to health of other people in the city, and that among the institutions they supported were dam of almost incon- oeivabie infamy.
